Executive summary

• Transitioned from an investment-led phase to a cash generation and returns-focused business, with Tyra's restart nearly doubling production and supporting Denmark's net exporter status for natural gas.

• Achieved record quarterly production of 42.4 mboepd in Q4 2025, with Tyra hub ramp-up and base assets performing within guidance.

• Strategic focus on maximizing cash flow, disciplined capital allocation, and sustainable shareholder distributions, with a clear policy of distributing 50–70% of operating cash flow through 2026.

• Engaged with Danish authorities on a potential DUC license extension to 2050, which would increase reserves, defer abandonment liabilities, and enhance long-term value.

• Strong operational execution, with December 2025 marking the highest monthly production since Tyra's restart.
